1973 Ford Mustang

1973 was the last year for the classic Mustang. The gas crisis and high insurance rates meant that America was switching from muscle cars to econoboxes. Ford sold 3 times as many copies of the 1974 Mustang II compared to the 1973. Which is really pretty sad, considering that the Mustang II was really a Pinto.

Coincidentally, this car's Wisconsin registration expires today: 10/31/16, Halloween. So many questions. This car looks like a prospect for a Mad Max movie. Did the owner drive really drive it from Wisconsin to Seattle in this condition? It looks like it's been driven through a fire and parked in the ocean. It's stuffed from floor to headliner with junk. Are they just keeping it as a storage locker?

1965 Buick Slylark Gran Sport

In 1964, General Motors had a rule that the engines in intermediate cars could not be larger than 330 cubic inches. Pontiac put that limitation to rest that year with the legendary GTO powered by a 389 c.i. V-8. After that, the race was on (literally) at GM with Oldsmobile introducing the 400 c.i.-powered 442, Chevrolet's 396-powered Chevelle SS and Buick's 401-powered Skylark Gran Sport.

The Gran Sport is far less known, though just as collectable, as the Chevy, Pontiac and Olds models. This first-of-the-breed 1965 is in excellent condition.

1946 GMC EC350 1 and 1/2 Ton Truck

GENERAL MOTORS TRUCK. Too tough to die. This truck used to be parked in a different spot in Fremont, so I'm pretty sure it can still move under its own power.
